Change Firefox Top Bar Background or Firefox Theme

November 16, 2017

Do you see the changes of Firefox top bar background to black after the update? How to change that Firefox dark background to light or white background? In order to change the black-background top bar, you will need to change the Firefox’s theme. It’s quick to fix it.

After FF update to version 53, it seems the developer team changes the Firefox top bar background to black. When I first realized this, it hurted my eyes to be honest. It is a personal’s preference. If you don’t like this either, you can change this, so let’s do it.

You will see the instant change immediately after clicking that button. To bring back the dark color, re-enable the default theme. Additionally, if you wonder what version of your FF browser is, you can always look for this info on the application’s preference. In this case, because we use Firefox app, while FF is active, you can look at “Preferences” → “About Firefox”. When you click that, you will see many infos about the app. When I wrote this post, mine was on version 53.
